Two hens win 8th and 10th NPO Chateaurun (23-06-2018)

Last Saturday the 3rd NPO long distance race was scheduled, also a Sector flight.

On June 23, the pigeons were released at 7:00 in the French Chateaudun, for us exactly 500 kilometers.

The first piece got the pigeons to contend with a Northeast wind, after which the wind turned to Northwest. For our location a good starting point for a nice flight. We had 62 pigeons in the fight. We have played the majority of the yearling hens on the vitesse.

At 1:49 pm two pigeons arrived who after a few hesitations (one more than the other) came in. They were both hens, 1 from 2016 from “Zus Harry” and 1 yearling from “New Harry“. Good for 1222mpm and 1221 mpm. The reports in the NIC soon showed that we were in a good position, but at department level there were earlier reports. After a few exciting evening hours we finally ended up at the 8th and 10th place NPO, both good for a teletext / intertext score:

Also the rest of the pigeons came off well and the results at Department level NPO against 3.505 pigeons were 37 out of 62 on the result, 21 of which 1:10.

Our first pigeon is a 2-year-old hen NL16-1662842. A beautiful fat blue hen.
She is still standing on a full wing. She wins her 8th prize at Chateaudun this season.
As a yearling she already won the 81st NPO Bourges.
Her full brother “De Peter” wins at Christian vd Wetering, 1st Nanteuil 3,500 p., 2nd Orleans 1,255 p. and 3rd NPO Issoudun 6,604 pigeons.

Her father is a son of the “800” (Gebr. Scheele) x “Inbreeding Cannibal” (Herman Pouw)
Her mother is the 10/745 “Mother Car Winner” and a full sister of the “Harry”

Our second pigeon and with that 10th NPO Chateaudun took a bit longer to come in.
Also a beautiful widow hen NL17-1410218, and direct daughter of “New Harry“.
A hen from the first batch of children “New Harry” who are placed on our racing loft.

As a youngster she won 13th NPO Melun against 6,390 pigeons.
This season she wins her 7th prize on 10 inks at Chateaudun.
